The second installation of artist banners on Beekman Street have begun installation. Seven new banners are now up with another 5 to come in the next week or so, featuring images from 24 working artists in and around Beacon. The banners are a project of The Rutigliano Group and Parsons James, with generous support from area businesses.

I went to one BAS meeting in June, but obligations took me away from the other meetings. I'll try to stop by again, as I like the idea of artistic minded people coming together. - Erin
